Typically, the font doesn't "change" over, but uses the characters out of a different font. For example, if a Chinese font is added to the "Sans" match, then a Chinese web page will latin characters from DejaVu, and Chinese characters from whatever font was added. For programs that don't use the functionality properly (like IceWM), you have to specify the entire list of fonts that it should try. If you're writing the program, I believe it's up to your program to keep trying to match fonts until a character is found. --Pat _______________________________________________ Fontconfig mailing list Fontconfig@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/fontconfig
